EFFECT OF NITROGEN FERTILIZATION ON METABOLISMS OF ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS IN FIELD-GROWN GRAIN MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)

Effect of nitrogen fertilization on metabolisms of essential and non-essential amino acids in field-grown grain maize (Zea mays L.)

In two-year field experiments, nitrogen (N) in the form of urea (0, 120 and 240 kg N/ha) was applied to grain maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid KWS 2376.The two-year mean content of total grain N at harvest was 1.54%.The highest N dose reduced most of the 17 amino acids (AA) analysed in the grain compared with the other treatments.Possible reasons for thi

Modified Unilateral Approach for Ventrally Located Spinal Tumors

Surgery on spinal tumors becomes challenging when the tumor is ventral to the spinal cord.Conventionally, we approach it posteriorly through bilateral laminectomy and rotate the cord after sectioning the dentate ligament and nerve roots.However, manipulating the cord can be hazardous, and a long bilateral laminectomy can be invasive.Meanwhile, a na
